Report: Herman Cain’s Wife, Gloria, To Sit Down With Greta Van Susteren This Weekend

» 43 comments

After keeping mum throughout her husband’s sexual harassment scandal and, even before then, refusing to be a presence on the campaign trail, Gloria Cain appears ready to speak. The New York Times reported yesterday that the wife of former Republican presidential frontrunner Herman Cain has agreed to sit down for an interview with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren this weekend “for a segment that could air Monday.”

Herman Cain has often said to the press that his wife prefers not to be on the campaign trail, but upon hearing the sexual harassment accusations, was as outraged as he. A rumor initially surfaced that she was to appear on Fox News when at the end of the first week of the scandal, but it never materialized. Now, the New York Times reports that “a source familiar with the planning” claims Gloria Cain has been booked for On the Record.

At long last, the political spouse who has kept the lowest profile of the campaign season is preparing to make a network debut. Mrs. Cain, who has been married to the former restaurant executive Herman Cain for 43 years, is expected to sit down this weekend with Greta Van Susteren of Fox News, for a segment that could air on Monday, according to a source familiar with the planning.

Mrs. Cain has, to date, not appeared on the campaign trail with her husband, and is said to prefer her home life in Atlanta, far away from the national spotlight. But since allegations of sexual harassment began to engulf the Cain campaign almost two weeks ago, it had been rumored that Mrs. Cain would eventually come to her husband’s defense on television.

While it appears that nothing is quite concrete with Gloria Cain until they have her on film, this is the most concrete story about her potential introduction into the public spotlight since the sexual harassment scandal first began. Herman Cain has been asked repeatedly since then about his wife, who he has said is “200% supportive” and that, upon seeing Sharon Bialek‘s press conference with Gloria Allred, “she used some language that I’ve never heard her use before.”

    For one thing, film is a whole lot easier to work with than either video-tape or digital, when the director has work stunt doubles in and out of a lot of action scenes.

    With tape, it’s largely a cosmetic concern: tape is just really hard to cue up perfectly (plus it’s even harder to erase!). Your professional expert types all like to remember how when Nixon’s secretary was working so hard to get that 18 & a half minutes out (the transcript, I mean, yeah, the transcript!), her left calf kept cramping up & she just about tore a shoulder muscle going back & forth, back & forth (to make extra sure to get the quotes right, I mean, yeah, the quotes right!); and STILL there were all those unsightly erasure marks.

    And digital is, like, forever; it’s INFORMATION, & all the Brainiac types tell us Isaac Newton made it so you can never get rid of information, ’til the end of time.

    But film, whoa: film BURNS, baby – it burns all up & with a great lustre; hey, I kid, about that lustre thing: Gloria Swanson used to say to Mr. DeMille how it added a certain quality to her close-ups; that’s it, yeah.

    Pay close attention to how the leftists at MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN treat her. 
    It should be very enlightening.

  • ceeza

    You mean enlightening like calling her fat or moochelle ..Or posting unflattering pictures or saying she hates America.  Or circulating emails of her dressed as a hoe or depicted as a monkey…  Enlightening like that?  

  • Kid_Dynamite

    Gloria will be a Scientologist before the interview’s over.
    Praise Xenu!

  • News Of The World

    So the Joker is going to interview the dumbass spouse who’s too stupid to see that her dumbass husband has been cheating on her for most of their marriage?  Perfect!

    The last refuge of the scoundrel is to put out the wife to defend you.

    It’s amazing how all these Teapublican candidates use Faux News as their megaphone, rather than sitting down with actual journalists. I don’t blame Mrs. Cain — she didn’t ask to be put in the limelight — but the fact that none of these candidates have the cajones to venture outside the Roger Ailes bubble is very telling. If they’re too wimpy to face David Gregory or Bob Schieffer for a few hard-hitting questions, how the f–k are they going to stand toe-to-toe with Putin, Sarkozy or the prime minister of Ubeki-beki-beki-stan-stan?

    The wife is always ‘the last to know’ what their horndog husbands are up to.

    That would be funny and make sense if there were any OWS-related candidates, but there aren’t any.   Why so irrelevant, tatboy?

  • Zona992007

    I bet she didnt “forget” about his allegations and knew exactly what the outcome was.  How many times did she have to deal with this during her marriage? 

    Damn, just like Michelle Bachmann said, stand by your man and be subservient no matter what? 

    Wow.

    In the unlikely event of a Cain presidency… would his wife still prefer to live in Atlanta? 

    Right, wrong, or indifferent, the spouse of a person with political ambitions needs to be involved on some level. I just don’t see this being a serious candidacy that’s ready to assume any real degree of power and authority.

    I wonder how much information he shares with her about anything he does outside of the house…

  • Rper

    For a sexual predator like Cain his hands are always probing and searching for female genitalia. It is his purpose in life.

    Mayabe  she and Herman will do a “terrorist fist bump”.  That was enlightening.

    Don’t I know it.

    The Wisconsin AG is attempting to write laws himself on the concealed carry law. The law was written and now this POS is attempting to implement new rules for the issuance of conceal carry permits.

    Why is it that asshats think they know better than the people that were elected?

    Why are you talking about Hillary that way?

    Other than Sharpton — who’s still less odious than Hannity or O’Reilly — the others are perfectly respectable. 

    But I see it still doesn’t matter to you that the GOP candidates are frightened little girls who hide behind Ailes’s skirt.

    Hey, I have been seeing likes by a certain individual called Staci Chase. Why no comments Staci? Have your idiotic responses been torn to shame or something? Or do you have a cramp and can only like comments now? LOL

    Old and new common knowledge. if you vote for a right wing tea party type white republicans at all times because you deem yourself superior, you’ll keep voting that way because you are inferior. And you’ll never make Herman Cain you nominee. Oh you’ll tell pollsters he’s your pick, but of course there’s the “Bradly effect.” Where certain whites tell pollsters they are voting for the black candidate because you don’t want to admit to them you will always pick a white right winger over a black winger. The same thing goes on in the democratic party.Mrs Cain seems certainly has a beautiful smile, I can’t wait to meet her. Though I strongly disagree with Mr. Cain’s stance of issues, and I believe he harassed those women. I must give the Brother a huge hat tip for his entrepreneurial and business credentials. He made it happen.
